6 One of them said to the man clothed in linen, who was upstream, “How long shall it be until the end of these wonders?” 7 The man clothed in linen, who was upstream, raised his right hand and his left hand toward heaven. And I heard him swear by the one who lives forever that it would be for a time, two times, and half a time, and that when the shattering of the power of the holy people comes to an end, all these things would be accomplished(Daniel 12: 6-7)
His 'name' is the Word of God (Revelation 19: 13). In prophecy, 'name' means 'handiwork'. Divine handiwork originate from divine characters /attributes; divine name are, therefore, flowing from the divine Immutable attributes. In truth, we don't address divine attributes with ordinary word such as 'character.' However, for the sake of intellectual comprehension, we have to use human language such as the base-word 'character' in describing the attributes of Divine Spirit. But, when we begin to walk into the "beginning of Wisdom," we eventually be familiar with the language of the Spirit of Prophecy. The spirit of Prophecy teaches us that divine 'mission' or divine 'character' is simply addressed with the word "name." "His name is Mercy” which is the language of the Spirit of Prophecy. That means divine attribute such as 'mercy' is essentially becoming his "name" or "mission." In our "entering the chamber," we are doing businesses with the divine personae whose spirit that flows as revealed by his "name." All divine "names" that flow from the same One Spirit of God are, therefore, sharing the same "Word of God." Yeshua who came as a man is the perfect manifestation of the Word of God that ever seen by naked eyes on Earth as according to the Order of Melchizedek. That is the reason why St. John wrote, "In the beginning was the Word..." The gate of the Prince of Peace is accessible through the presence of the Holy Ghost. The key in unlocking the doors remains unchanged i.e. the seven-fold gifts of the Holy Spirit.
"Lift up your heads, O gates! And be lifted up, O ancient doors! That the King of glory may come in" (Psalm 24: 7)
The ancient gates are referring to the Immutable names of the Ancient One. Those names were revealed unto mankind according to the working power of the spirit of Understanding and also according to the Order of Melchizedek. They were sharing the exact and the same the Word of God; it is flowing in the Spirit of Prophecy. The Word of God is covenanted in the Personae of Yeshua, the Lamb of God, and therefore Yeshua's name is the Word of God. The Word of God belongs to all revealed divine names according to the Order of Melchizedek: all revelations are therefore in the Spirit of Prophecy! The ancient gates are the immutable divine characters. The divine handiwork (Immutable divine name) are flowing from those divine Immutable characters. His immutable attributes are, therefore, essentially his handiwork a.k.a divine name!
Every follower of the High Priest of Melchizedek Order whose name is written in the book of Life, is exhorted to lift up the divine names above all human 'names' (human handiworks), in order to see the blessings flowing through those ancient doors or ancient gates. The realities of divine blessings from those ancient gates neither be invoke-able through "woven-fig leaves" righteousness nor through mere human intellectual digests; the blessing is simply be received through the gift of the Seven-fold Gifts of the Spirit: "the fear of the Lord." The fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom. Wisdom is the divine Personae of all those 'ancient gates': the Immutable names of God.
The simple revelation of how the power of the holy people be shattered...
6 On that day there will be neither sunlight nor cold, frosty darkness. 7 It will be a unique day—a day known only to the Lord—with no distinction between day and night. When evening comes, there will be light (Zechariah 14: 6-7).
The seemingly "day and night will never cease" in Genesis 8: 22 would, at an appointed time, becomes "no distinction between day and night" as in Zechariah 14: 6-7. The age of Peace as Covenanted by the Prince of Peace (the Lamb of God) would come to an end. The terminus of 'Peace' is poetically made known by Genesis 8: 21-22 and Zechariah 14: 6-7. The 'end' of peace with God also points to new 'name' of God proclaimed by the 'sky' as in Matthew 24: 29; Psalm 19: 1-2; Psalm 50: 3-6; Revelation 6: 13-14.
“…the skies proclaim the
work of his hands ['name'] ” (Psalm 19: 1 b)
Prophet Asaph who was once the royal archivist during the reign of King
Hezekiah wrote the lyrics of his song in Psalm 50: 4-6 : “He summons the heavens above, and the earth, to judge His people: 5 “Gather My godly ones
to Me, Those who have made
a covenant
with Me by sacrifice [atonement].” 6 And the heavens declare His righteousness, For God Himself is judge.” The ‘Judge’ is the
divine 'mission' in accomplishing the mission in Judging and punishing the
inhabitants of the earth during the Chastisement period after the second returned of Christ.
Noah entered into the Ark 7 days prior to
outpouring of the floodgates of heaven and the gushing forth of deep waters
from the earth. Noah embarked into the ark and then all the elected pair of
animals went into their chambers inside the Ark.And on the seventh day, God’s
hand shut off the door of the ark. 'The ark of Noah was always pointing to any covenant between God
and people of God on earth. Noah became the shipbuilder who built the ark according to the ‘exact’
dimensions given by the Word of God. So, the doers of the Word of God ought to
follow the will of God exactly, as unfolded through the Word of God, just as
Noah who built the dimensions of the ark 'exactly' according to the Word of God. Christ came 'exactly' according to the will of the Father in heaven. So, that explain the reason why learn put our trust in Christ. Those ‘elect’ are considered to be in the ark of the Covenant of God.
The ‘elect’
are exhorted to enter into the covenant of Peace as long as the ‘gate’ of the
Prince of Peace is not yet being shut off by the hand of God. We know that every ship has her
compartments or chambers. We know also that every covenanted people of God is spiritually considered to be in the Ark. However, it
is not sufficient as merely entering into the ark, but every believer must learn to enter
into their own chamber. “Entering into one’s chamber” means remaining into the
mode of watchfulness in the Spirit of prayer! Thus, every covenanted people of
God must be anointed by the seven-fold spirit, just as what Yeshua had revealed
through parable of the ten virgins and the Coming Bridegroom. In other words,
every believer is exhorted to master the
Spirit of Prayer. Those who have been endowed with the gift of the fear of the
Lord are surely able to pass through the 'gate' of the Judge. The Lord Almighty
God said in Job 28: 28 “And to man He said, ‘Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; And to depart from evil is understanding.” Prophet Isaiah revealed unto us that the
preparation in anticipating the coming the dreadful Judge would be constantly via the Spirit
of prayer. It is not only ‘entering into
the Covenant of Peace,’ but also each believer is conscientiously ‘entering
into our own chamber.’ The Lord exhorted each one of us: “20 Come, my people, enter your 'chambers,' and shut your
doors behind you; hide yourselves for a little while until the wrath is past. 21 For the Lord comes out from his place
to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity; the earth will
disclose the blood shed on it, and will no longer cover its slain” (Isaiah 26: 20-21, New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition)
Who would shut off the door of the covenant of peace? The Word of God said that it is the hand of God who would shut off the ‘door’ or the ‘gate’ of the Lamb of God, just as, in ancient times, where the hand of God that had had closed the door of the Ark of Noah. The hand of God is the handiwork of God. The handiwork of God means the ‘name’ of God. So, the ‘name’ called Judge is undeniably the One that would shut off the gate of the Covenant of Peace. Christ once said: “ I am the Gate...” He was the gate of the Covenant of Peace. So, it was the Prince of Peace that had opened up the gate of Peace throughout the Peace Age. However, God would fulfill the 'wonders' on earth just as prophesied by the servants the prophets of God. Therefore, he must shut off the gate of Peace, prior to the opening up of the gate of the Judge on earth. It is the Coming Dreadful Judge who would shut off the door of the Prince of Peace (the Lamb of God). The ‘shut off’ door of the Prince of Peace would cause the absence of Christ's Advocacy on earth, thus, resulting “the shattering of power of the holy people.” The holy people would then experience Chastisement period for a time, times, and half a time.

The door of the Covenanted divine name i.e. the Lamb of God, already ceasing in empowering the Covenant people (the Church), and it would be completely closed down the 'Peace age' at an appointed time. Surely the Judge would not greet us with the greeting we used to hearing during the Peace Age: "peace be with you!." "A time" would be the beginning of a period called "the shattering of the people of God!!" It spans for "a time, times and half a time." Churches would be without [spiritual] power as harvesters of souls on earth. All people of God either small or great, noble or ordinary men would go through the Chastisement period. The harvesters, the mighty angels of God, under the Command of the Judge, who judges in equity, would replace the role of the Churches who were once the empowered reapers on earth. It was prophesied through Prophet Daniel long time ago:
6 One of them said to the man clothed in linen, who was upstream, “How long shall it be until the end of these wonders?” 7 The man clothed in linen, who was upstream, raised his right hand and his left hand toward heaven. And I heard him swear by the one who lives forever that it would be for a time, two times, and half a time, and that when the shattering of the power of the holy people comes to an end, all these things would be accomplished(Daniel 12: 6-7).
"The shattering of the power of the holy people" takes effect as soon as the Gate of the guarantor of the Covenant of Peace is closed! As the gate is closing down, the power of harvesting once endowed upon the Church would be taken away, thus it is prophesied --"evening comes" ; we would see unripened fruits of the fig tree falling down, as the late strong wind blows the tree. It is rather seen as a spiritual consequence of 'the shut off door' of the Lamb of God. The new divine 'name', Judge, would not continue in taking away the sins of the world. It (the Prince of Peace) was once his mission, the mission throughout the Peace Age. The people of God are exhorted, therefore, to enter into their own chambers prior to that closing down of the Operation of Grace under the Covenant of Peace. We are exhorted to become genuine branches of the true Vine. Only through the gift of the "fear of the Lord" that would enable us to become the "true branches." It means dependency upon God (Psalm 25: 14). It is through the Spirit of Prayer that ones could learn to call upon the Ancient Gates or Ancient Doors: entering into the presence of the 'Immutable names' of God. When the patriarch Job entered into a judgment period, the guardian angels seemed to have had folded up their hands, abandoning him without any sign of hope. Even the Adversary, Lucifer, was allowed by God to peel off Job's skins, and since then... 'Every Jobs' in the Kingdom of God have to learn the lesson of the gift of "the fear of the Lord." The gift counsels every 'branch' of the True Vine, in admitting that "apart from thee (God's name), we are nothing." ...and therefore...they say, “I have seen his face." !
Job's family in the book of Job elucidated the meaning of the prophesied "the shattering of power of the holy people."
Job's family seemed to 'serve as the extraordinary specimen' of a God-fearing family who went through the period of divine chastisement or trials; the crumbling walls of life that fell upon every facet of Job's life had had inspired millions of people who went through similar trials or even through divine 'judgment! It was purposely written, so that every child of God would be counselled, comforted and edified by the proper impartations of knowledge and wisdom in enduring the 'distress' during darkness or chastisement. Job experienced the distress of chastisement! And yet, he endured the chastisement by trusting in the Immutable names of God.
Later, in Job 28: 28, he witnessed that "the fear of the Lord is (the beginning) Wisdom!" It was this 'gift', the fear of the Lord, which steadfastly kept his faith in the goodness of all names of God. Nonetheless, his wife reacted negatively towards Job's unwavering trust in his God. She ended up losing hope in the 'name' of God, and thus, her desperate disappointment clearly explained that she was truly offended by Job's God! 9 Then his wife said to him, “Do you still hold fast your integrity? Curse God and die!” 10 But he said to her, “You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. Shall we indeed accept good from God and not accept adversity?” (Job 2: 9-10). As we wade through the period of Chastisement, our belief could turn into unbelief. We are tempted to end up like Job's wife who said: Curse God and die! This could be fallen upon us, when severe sufferings nullify all reasons to believe in God who promises protection and love!
The people of God already entered into the period, “a time," i.e. the distress prior to His Second Return. We anticipate severe sufferings, and physical and material losses just like what Job had gone through in those days! We are easily tempted into cursing God's names in hard trials. The people of God must emulate Job's steadfast trust in divine Immutable names! Prophet Isaiah counselled every sojourner:
10 Who among you fears the Lord
and obeys the voice of his servant,
who walks in darkness
and has no light,
yet trusts in the name of the Lord
and relies upon his God?
11 But all of you are kindlers of fire,
Lighters of firebrands.
Walk in the flame of your fire and among
the brands that you have kindled!
This is what you shall have from my hand:
you shall lie down in torment.(Isaiah 50: 10-11)
37 For as the days of Noah were, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered the ark, 39 and they knew nothing until the flood came and swept them all away, so too will be the coming of the Son of Man(Matthew 24: 37-39).
. ..As in the day of Noah, he entered 'a time' (7 days-period) prior to that coming Judgment. So, in the same manner, "a time" would presage a period of 7 years of our final "entering your chamber" under the covenanted 'name,' Prince of Peace. The "name" of Prince of Peace would cease in greeting us "Peace be with you." Those 7 years-period would point to the presaging typology of a particular 'a time' of Noah’s embarking into the Ark: transition period of time between 'two' divine names! The present signs of times are somehow serve to be the 'ticking clock' which points to that transition period in which the people of God are exhorted to embrace the 'five wise virgins' spiritual allegory. They must continually remain in the 'spirit of prayer' as the prerequisite in ushering the descending new name of the coming Christ, Judge, into the next wonders of "times, and half a time."
20 Come, my people, enter your chambers (Spirit of prayer), and shut your doors behind you; hide yourselves for a little while, until the wrath is past.
21 For the Lord comes out from his place, to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity; the earth will disclose the blood shed on it, and will no longer cover its slain.
(Isaiah 26: 20- 21).
The still alive saints shall possess all kingdoms on Earth
13 “I kept looking in the night visions,
And behold, with the clouds of heaven one like a Son of Man was coming, and He came up to the Ancient of Days and was presented before Him. 14 “And to Him was given dominion, Glory and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations and men of every language might serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion which will not pass away; and His kingdom is one which will not be destroyed.
15 “As for me, Daniel, my spirit was distressed within me, and the visions in my mind kept alarming me. 16 I approached one of those who were standing by and began asking him the exact meaning of all this. So he told me and made known to me the interpretation of these things: 17 These great beasts, which are four in number, are four kings who will arise from the earth [Note# Babylon, Mede Persian, Greek, Roman Empire; the Roman Empire constitutes 10 surviving lineages of kings which are identifiable as the present European nations] 18 But the saints of the Highest One will receive the kingdom and possess the kingdom forever, for all ages to come.’
19 “Then I desired to know the exact meaning of the fourth beast, which was different from all the others, exceedingly dreadful, with its teeth of iron and its claws of bronze, and which devoured, crushed and trampled down the remainder with its feet, 20 and the meaning of the ten horns that were on its head and the other horn which came up, and before which three of them fell, namely, that horn which had eyes and a mouth uttering great boasts and which was larger in appearance than its associates.21 I kept looking, and that horn was waging war with the saints and overpowering them 22 until the Ancient of Days came and judgment was passed in favour of the saints of the Highest One, and the time arrived when the saints took possession of the kingdom.
23 “Thus he said: ‘The fourth beast will be a fourth kingdom on the earth, which will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth and tread it down and crush it. 24 As for the ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings will arise; and another will arise after them, and he will be different from the previous ones and will subdue three kings 25 He will speak out against the Most High and wear down the saints of the Highest One, and he will intend to make alterations in times and in law; and they will be given into his hand for a time, times, and half a time.26 But the court will sit for judgment, and his dominion will be taken away, annihilated and destroyed forever. 27 Then the sovereignty, the dominion and the greatness of all the kingdoms under the whole heaven will be given to the people of the saints of the Highest One; His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all the dominions will serve and obey Him.’
28 “At this point the revelation ended. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts were greatly alarming me and my face grew pale, but I kept the matter to myself.” (Daniel 7: 13-28, NASB).
Verse 13 points to the Second Coming of Christ as in Revelation 6: 14 and Acts 1: 6-11. Through the divine wraths called "Trumpets" and "Bowls" in the book of Revelation, Christ was prophesied to possess the Earth as in the book Daniel 7: 14, 27. And yet, the saints shall go through distress, trials, or Chastisement for a period rhyming "a time, times and half a time." During those rhyming period, the saints would experience the "...shattering of the power..."
The still alive saints have to endure those "shattering of power" until "the Ancient of Days [Christ the Judge who judges in equity"] came, and judgment was passed in favour of the saints of the Highest One, and the time arrived when the saints took possession of the kingdom" (Daniel 7: 22). "...in favour of" would be only fulfilled only after the "shattering of the power of the holy people" is completed for a span of time called "a time, times, and half a time." King David sang "the righteous ones shall inherit the earth”! The prophesy: "... Judgment was passed in favour of the saints of the Highest One, and the time arrived when the saints took possession of the kingdom" was prophesied in Daniel 7: 22. It was also prophesied in Revelation 11: 15-18: " 15 Then the seventh angel sounded; and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, "The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ; and He will reign forever and ever.” 16 And the twenty-four elders, who sit on their thrones before God, fell on their faces and worshiped God 17 saying, "We give You thanks, O Lord God, the Almighty, who are and who were, because You have taken Your great power and have begun to reign.18 And the nations were enraged, and Your wrath came, and the time came for the dead to be judged, and the time to reward Your bond-servants the prophets and the saints and those who fear Your name, the small and the great, and to destroy those who destroy the earth.”
Mortal men whose consciousness is cantered on intellectual capacities and nervous activities define life within their lifespans. So, we discard the Word of God as something that hinders the businesses of eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriages, and buying or selling. We are dearly engrossed into building the desired "towers" of man's "names" on Earth. "Name" in the spirit of prophecy means "handiwork." The name of the beast or the number of the beast is the worldwide 'handiwork' of mankind in every nation on Earth! That prophesied "name" is, in truth, readable by any gifted follower of Divine names. The final handiwork of the inhabitants of the Earth was revealed as 666. It involves mathematical shrewdness in the transactions of "buying or selling." So, 666 merely serves to be the "Sign" of times which points to the unfolding wraths of the Judge who judges in equity. When we see 666 through the lenses of intellectual capacities, it is, indeed, offering us modern livelihood. Nonetheless, 666 was originated from the wounded rulers. While the divine names either the immutable divine names or Covenanted divine names are offering us life in fullness, the name of the beast is up to glorify this mortal flesh with monetary! It was just a matter of priority between the eternal life and temporary life. The beast tries to subdue the inhabitants of the earth by enslaving them into the whole gamut of monetary, thus we are demanded to have shrewdness in calculation!
Christ Yeshua knows that the consciousness of the wounded men is dominantly centred upon the intellectual capacities and nervous activities. When the "last hour"-rulers on Earth (the beasts) succeeded in subduing that "centre" of consciousness of the descendants of the 'wounded' man with the collectively agreed "name," then it wouldn't be hard to amend that "name" into a worldwide covenant/convention: international agreement or treaty. Men either rich, poor, noble, freeman or slave would be subjected to that international covenant. That "name" must be "blood and the pulsating heartbeat" of every nation. Then, even the freeman (born again) would be undeniably subjected to that "name." 666 is apparently stealing away the worship of God. Such "name" was made known from the beginning as "its tower reached to the sky." Man's name becomes the purpose of existence, and it defies the supremacy of the Word of God as 'the reason to live and the reason to die.' Our offspring define life according to their dominant centre of consciousness: the intellectual capacities and nervous activities. Men were reduced to five senses. The Spirit becomes unattractive because we rarely enter its realities. Thus, it answers why we don't even see the Word of God (Spirit) as the ultimate Source of life. Man's "names" (handiworks) would define our reason of mortal existence.
Alas! It steals away the true treasure of God (Wisdom or Sevenfold Spirit of God) which God freely offers unto every believer. It glorifies the five senses. It devalues the Word of God: true Source of Life. It opposes the "names" of the Divine Spirit. No wonder why Yeshua prophesied: "33 seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. 34 “So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own" (Matthew 6: 33-34). He unfolded the spiritual "key" in overcoming the strongest enslaving grid of consciousness on Earth i.e. monetary; monetary is man's main handiwork ('name'). It is the utmost sought-after "name" by every ruler in every modern nation throughout the world. The prophesied tower of Babel that once had had centralized the life of the ancient one-speech populace of the earth had re-emerged in this modern "last hours" since 1944 CE: "it was once, and no more, and it appeared again." Centralized life on Earth under "One Tower" had emerged again; the top of that tower reached to heaven! It was the horn with one eye sitting on the top of that tower. Every person is seeking that treasure i.e. "the modern mammon." Yeshua said: "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also" Luke 12: 34. All governments on Earth are collectively saying that the pulsating heartbeat or "life-blood" of any agenda of 'nation building' is inseparable from the core-business of maintainingmathematical shrewdness in monetary.
Monetary is the foremost "name" (handiwork) of 'man' which has been enslaving every soul on Earth in the last hours. It is the "sign" of times which unfolds the tangible events on Earth. It also sign-posts our spiritual journey in which "ticking clock" we are in. Yeshua knew that the last-hours "mammon" would eventually subdue the whole inhabitants of the earth. He may have seen it thousands of times before, even when he was still clothed with the ‘flesh’; He purposely said, "Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." Why? In the last hours, mammon would eventually enslave humanity, as if a serpent that coils up a whole world. Men would be spurred to seek mammon in their daily chores of life. The "seeking" of men not only be dictated with man-made laws, but also causing continuous diversion of life from the divine spiritual design of man; the divine exhortation "seek His kingdom" has been easily replaced by the "seek the name of the beast." Every ruler of every nation is actually a beast, because "a woman" means simply the prophesied bride of the coming Bridegroom. Every nation on Earth couldn't be the bride of Yeshua! Yeshua would never marry any nation (geo-political nation), and yet the 'name' YHVH, was once married Jerusalem (Theocratic nation of Israel) in the Promised Land. His marriage ended as prophesied in 2 Kings 23:27 and the Theocratic of Kingdom of priests and holy nation became the things of the past.
True man is always like Yeshua. But, why God had revealed unto St. John that the beast was also a man? The answer is simply because the false man (the beast) was trying to marry every soul on Earth through mammonism, and thus the Coming true man who comes for his bride would be in the "spiritual wars." And yet it still fulfils the prophecies of the prophets. So, that was the reason why the end-times beast was revealed as a "man." Of course, there would be a leading ruler on the top of the hierarchies of Antichrist's "towers" who represents the revealed "a man"; the leading ruler was also known as the ruler whose name or number, 666, the beast. Christ was the Word that became the Son of Man; those who do not believe in this mystery are, in truth, considered antichrists. Those who reject the Word would be adjudged by God in the Judgment period under the descending coming 'name' of God; the Judge who judges in equity. Those who reject the Word of God who became man are those who decide not to be included in the Covenant of Peace. So, they are merely outside the Covenant. According to human intellectual digests, those outside the Covenant are not necessarily be branded as bad persons. They could be good persons as according to human precepts or they could be even better than those who profess to be the followers of the Way! However, they would be, definitely, deprived of the blessings through the Covenant of Peace i.e. the outpouring of the Sevenfold Spirit of God! And, now, the Covenant of Peace is closing down. Those who had entered the covenant are exhorted to "enter their chambers": the Spirit of Prayer!
Christ's name is the Word of God (Revelation 19: 13). The Word of God who became the Son of Man. The main reason of his human-divine (duality) existence was simply explained by Yeshua in Luke 24: 44 and in John 1: 29-34. 29...“Here is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! 30 this is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who ranks ahead of me because he was before me.’ 32 I myself did not know him; but I came baptizing with water for this reason, that he might be revealed to Israel.”32 And John testified, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it remained on him.33 I myself did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water said to me, 'He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit ' 34 and I myself have seen and have testified that this is the Son of God" (John 1: 29-34).
The word Antichrist itself is merely the antonym of the word Christ; thus, the word Antichrist is merely meant AntiWord. We do not have the intention in 'demonizing' those who don't believe in the "Word became the Son of Man." "3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world” (1 John 4:3). We are merely seeing the simple truth! And yet, in every nation there are 'tares' and 'wheat.' In nation building, every nation is normally shaped up by the majority of the populace. And every citizen is exhorted to abide the national Constitutions. Solomon said: “When the righteous increase, the people rejoice, But when a wicked man rules, people groan" (Proverbs 29: 2). However, in human missions of 'nation building', it is undeniable that both the tares and the wheat are obliged in fulfilling each nation's "names"! Since the "wheat" are subjected to the 'names' of their respective 'nation building,' it was wiser to stick to Yeshua's words: Then He said to them, “Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s; and to God the things that are God’s.” (Matthew 22: 21). Yeshua's counsel unto all "wheats" in every nation is always practical as reverberated by His words in Matthew 22: 21. The things that are of God's already revealed unto us as he taught the prophesied prayers to his 12 disciples: Our Father. "City building," as prophesied in Genesis 11 was equivalent to the present worldwide mission called "nation building." Profitable human-made "nation building" demands us to respect the differences of beliefs among the citizens of one's nation. Genesis 11 disclosed the reason why the descendants of Noah had had abandoned the true spiritual teachings of the Altar. God had to begin his grandeur plan of salvation for the 'wounded' men through Abram, Isaac, and then the twelve tribes. Later, the house of Jacob (the 'woman') delivered the awaited Messiah: Yeshua. Since "the ears that hear and the eyes that see" was God's gift, and thus, those who might have believed in the 'names' of the Father and the 'names' He had given unto his Son are, in truth, predestined to be His children. In Christian belief, salvation is the gift of God. Therefore, you are surely able to figure out why the percentage representing the true followers of Christ on Earth is very small --. The majority percentage of the world populace is, in truth, representing those who are outside the circle of people who have been endowed with "the fear of the Lord."
How would Yeshua's words "seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness" be ever possible in our daily devotion, when everybody is literally busy in the transaction of "buying and selling”? Yeshua told us in Matthew 6: 33 that faith must be exercised together with the attitude of prioritizing His kingdom; seeing "the kingdom of heaven" as the believers' greatest "treasure." "Seek ye first the kingdom of God" was Yeshua’s answer in having a triumphant outcome of the tug of war between mammon and God in ones' lives. Yeshua's exhortation in dealing with the worldwide covenant of mammon delivers our spirits from being deprived of the joy in worshipping the "True Treasure." Only those who are called to become the true branches of the true Vine would be endowed with the eyes that see the spiritual meaning of that 'Priority.' Blessed, those who have been endowed with the gift of the fear of the Lord, for they would be enabled to be steadfast in "seeking the Kingdom of God and His righteousness." Job witnessed that YHVH had said unto humankind on Earth in Job 28: 28: "The fear of the Lord is Wisdom."
28 “And to man He said, ‘Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.’ “(Job 28: 28, NASB).
